"Hiding in Easter" mani - påske kamuflage

A quick, and quite silly Easter-color-Friday mani ;)
Originally I was planning a "Hiding in yellow", but my yellow's are too close to make one.  That's why I chose these colors.  
The base color is China Glaze Gaga For Green, and the camouflage is made with a dotting tool and colors from China Glaze: Solar Power, Sunshine Pop, Happy Go Lucky, Lighthouse, Papaya Punch and Sweet Hook and finally I top coated.

En hurtig og ret skør påske-farve-fredags mani ;)
Oprindeligt ville jeg have en gul kamouflage, men mine gule lakker er alt for tæt på hinanden, så derfor valgte jeg disse farver.
Grundfarven er China Glaze Gaga For Green, og camouflage mnsteret er lavet med et dotting tool og farver fra China Glaze: Solar Power, Sunshine Pop, Happy Go Lucky, Lighthouse, Papaya Punch and Sweet Hook, og til slut lagde jeg en toplak.

Swatch Saturday: China Glaze Electric Beat, Kinetic Candy & Gaga for Green swatches and review

All 3 colors are from the ElectroPop Collection, spring 2012, I bought 7, see them HERE  They are all shown in two coats (Kinetic Candy only one), and without top coat. They apply nicely and dry quickly, the usual great China Glaze quality…

Alle 3 farver er fr ElectroPpo kollektionen forår 2012, jeg købte ialt 7, se dem HER. De er alle vist med 3 lag, Kinetic Candy dog kun med et lag, og uden toplak. De er superlette at lægge og tørrer hurtigt, de har den sædvalige utroligt gode kvalitet som China Glaze altid leverer.

Electric Beat - strong, light blue

Gaga For Green - in-your-face light green - see stamping on this below

Kinetic Candy - a pale, light blue with a light grey hue

I'm NOT good at stamping, but China Glaze Gaga For Green called for leaves – the light green leaves that the beech has in spring. I chose the easy solution and stamped with Konad Special Polish White and Bundle Monster plate BM19. This is from their first series of plates with the tiny patterns, so on my thumb I used it vertically on the lower half, and then stamped half the pattern over the top half of the nail, a bit messy, but I can accept it. Unfortunately the pattern on the ring finger a bit broken.

Jeg er IKKE god til stamping, men China Glaze Gaga For Green kaldte på nyudsprungne bøgeblade. Jeg valgte den nemme udvej og stampede/stemplede med Konad Special Polish White og jeg brugte Bundle Monster plate BM19. Det er fra den første serie med de små mønstre, så på min tommel brugte jeg den vandret på den nederste halvdel, og så stampede jeg det halve mønster på den øverste halvdel, en smule sjusket, men det går an. Desværre er mønsteret på ringfingeren lidt i stykker.

Gaga for Electric beat in the green grass

 

A quick and easy Friday mani...
Sorry about the goofy name, I can't help myself, it's a combination of two of the colors used, and sorry for the oily residue, I had put hand lotion on my hands and forgotten all about it, and when I came around to editing the photos, the mani was gone.

This is 2 coats of China Glaze Electric Beat, and it made me feel springy, so I used Gaga for Green for the grass, Sunshine Pop for the sun and flowers, they are both from the same collection, ElectroPop. For the clouds I used OPI Alpine Snow. I used a dotting tool for clouds, sun and flowers, a fine brush for the longer grass, you also could use a fine dotting tool, and the grass I painted like an uneven French tip.

Et lille hurtigt og let fredags design...
Undskyld det tossede navn, jeg kan ikke ladevære, det er en kombination af to af de brugte lakker – og undskyld den fedtede hinde, jeg havde taget håndlotion på og glemt alt om det, og da jeg skulle redigere fotos nogle dage senere, var manicuren taget af.

Der er brugt 2 lag China Glaze Electric Beat, der satte mig i forårshumør, jeg jeg brugte Gaga for Green til græsset, Sunshine Pop til solen og blomsterne, begge er fra den samme kollektion, ElectroPop. Til skyerne brugte jeg OPI Alpine Snow. Jeg brugte et dotting tool til skyer, sol og blomster, og græsset lavede jeg som en ujævn fransk manicure og til de længere strå, brugte jeg en fin pensel, men jeg kunne lige så got have brugt et dotting tool med mini hoved eller en tandstik.

China Glaze ElectroPop - first impressions and comparisons/sammenligninger - picture heavy

Dansk, se længere nede samt sidst i hver billedtekst.
They are here! They arrived on a frosty, sunny day and made promises of spring – I look forward to wearing the 7 colors I chose to buy from this collection - and to the spring :)
First impressions are great, they are very well pigmented, applies so easy, dries quickly like China Glaze’s polishes normally do – and many of them could be one-coaters.
I’ll let the colors speak for themselves, and with some of them I do comparisons with other similar colors…
Remember to check in later today to see an eye-opening top coat comparison!!
Så er de her! De ankom en frostklar dag med strålende sol og lovede forår – jeg ser frem mod at bruge de 7 farver jeg valgte at købe fra denne kollektion og til foråret :)
Førstehåndsindtrykket er rigtigt, rigtigt godt, de er velpigmenterede, er lette at påføre, tørrer hurtigt som China Glaze plejer at gøre – og der er flere af dem, der måske er et-lags.
Jeg vil lade farverne tale for sig selv, og laver med nogen af dem sammenligninger med tilsvarende farver…
Husk at vende tilbage i eftermiddag, hvor jeg har en interessant toplak sammenligning!!!

Gaga For Green - a spring meadow/leaf green - som forårsgræs og bøgeblade

Dance Baby - a girly bubblegum pink - en piget lyserød

Left to right/venstre mod højre: China glaze Second Hand Silk (dustier/mere gammelrosa), Dance Baby, Essie Lovie Dovie (warmer/merevarm)

Sunshine Pop - opaque i 2 coats, has a weak shimmer, looks like it could apply a little streaky , but it's beautiful! - dækker ved to tag, har et svagt shimmer og ser ud som om, den måske viser penselstrøg ved påføring - men smuk!

From the left/t.v. OPI Lemonade Stand by your man, Sunshine Pop, CG Happy Go Lucky
More opaque than the OPI, a little lighter than the creme Happy Go Lucky and it has a fine shimmer. Den er langt bedre dækkende end OPI, lidt lysere end creme lakken Happy Go Lucky, og så har den et svagt shimmer.

Gothic Lolita, a warm purple with a subtle shimmer - en varm lilla med et diskret shimmer

From the left/t.v. CG Senorita Bonita more warm purple with more shimmer/flecks, Gothic Lolita has a subtle shimmer, CG Spontaneous, a cream polish and bit darker and cooler

Sweet Hook - a pale lilac/lavender warm toned - en lys syren/lavendel, varm i tonen

Sweet Hook + Essie Lilacism

Electric Beat - a little more dusty than shown here - lidt mere støvet end på billedet

Electric Beat + China Glaze Secret-peri-wink-le 

Kinetic Candy

From the left/t.v. CG For Audrey, Kinetic Candy and CG Sea Spray

I’ll show you on-nail swatches and do nail art on each color I not too long…
Jeg vil vise lakkerne på neglene og vise hver farve med nail art om ikke alt for længe…
